Soft pedal after caliper rebuild, ideas?

You'd feel an empty moment, possibly scary moment also, no? You think longer pistons would solve your issue?... name your preferred SS type material (304 ok?)

Long pedals r not welcome at the track, got to be fixed :/

edit: isee, you haven't changed the pistons. Strange behavior in that case.... +1 to Gelbster. Air, what else

+1,000 to that, I have had only 1 long pedal at the track, and that was after sitting for a while due to a red flag, once we got going again, the first time I pressed the brakes the pedal went waaaay down (I guess because the brake fluid got so hot sitting in one spot with hot rotors and calipers and no cooling air), they came right back though.
